Topic: So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Posted By: rtbmrgl on 06/04/17 01:55pm

I made a stand for my BBq, pretty simple, you can see by the pics how I did it. On a '09 AF-990, uses the bottom ladder mount, 1/4 pins hold in place.

Backup camera, wireless,
2009 Arctic Fox 990,

Hello,
1- wired the WiFi transmitter into the existing porch light. I enlarged the porch switch to hold two switches so I could turn of the transmitter when not needed. The porch and running lights are located on a panel, there's a cavity behind so easy to install the camera and wires, the switch is directly behind the where camera is mounted.

2- I installed two diodes so to use two 12v inputs for the reverse wire to the backup monitor(or radio). A switch in dash to turn while driving and the reverse wire output wire to backup lights. Without diodes the reverse lights would come on when dash switch is on.

I hope this helps anyone trying to install a backup camera with WiFi.It took me awhile to figure out a clean installation, (my best friend helped me, last name is -Internet, first name is- The) [emoticon]

I measured the outside length of the valence, then the height of the inside of the top of the valence to the bottom of the cabinet where the wall meets the window wall.
I took those measurements (39.5 x 30 If I recall correctly) and bought blackout material and the camo pattern. I added a little extra for the sides hence the 39.5" width.
I then stitched them together. Then sewed velcro (opposite side as to what is on the inside of the valence) so the curtains will hang like your existing ones do.
I bought the camo on sale at 8.00/yd. regular camo price is about 30.00/yd so can get expensive. Blackout is expensive but if you can go to a curtain making place they may have scraps you can buy for cheap.
For the vent cover I did the same but used snaps.

Finally got her out from under the tree and gave her and the truck a wash to get them ready to resume work.

So the post that holds up the dinette table in my 2008 Lance 1055 ripped out. The table top is junk. Essentially it is resin impregnated cardboard with a styrofoam core. I will build a new solid table top but I needed a quick fix in the interim. I cut some 3/4 plywood to fit between the slider rails and cut a notch to allow the support leg to fold flat so we could still use the table top to make the dinette into a bed. The support leg is screwed into the plywood which is screwed into the side slider rails. It should be more stable than the original. Took me 30 minutes. and yes it had come loose on the road so I did a dirty fix with polystyrene foam.

Yep, did a similar fix a number of years ago. I didn't wait until it looked as bad as yours. As I had experienced this in many other fixes. So attacked it early on. While I was doing this, I installed a power strip on the other end of the underside of my table top so as to have power there. Drilled a hole into the table top and install a hole grommet for cables, to help keep in clean. Seemed a good time when the table top was out being fixed.

An update, I had to mount the camera onto a piece of think rubber to insulate the camera from the metal panel, then screw the rubber to the panel.. Not sure why but the camera monitor would have static only when bolted to panel.
